In Reply to: RE: Thoughts on Boulder from those who have heard it? posted by Mr Peabody on November 09, 2015 at 18:42:20
Boulder is good stuff, if you like ss equipment. Personally, I prefer
Ayre and BAT for high end ss amps. Rowland is fine, too.
But I find tubed gear to be more euphonic. Were I to hit the lotto, I'd
likely buy a VTL setup. Rogue would be up for consideration too.

Hi Mike, if you haven't heard it you would probably like Pass Labs. I was also impressed with the Levinson 532h, not "tube like" in any typical way but the amp is very transparent and quick with still giving the sense of melody in the music. I feel a lot of SS miss that, some how stripping away whatever it is that allows us to sense the melody or some call PR&T. The 532h transients give it a live sort of sound, not just only large transients but everything just seems to pop, in a good way. The "H" series uses banks of small caps opposed to the large can style, they say that's what gives it the liveliness.
VTL, Manley, and VAC are on my wish list too!
ARC / CJ.... been there done that. ;-)
